Putting the XML into the data model

Note

This section is for programmers.

It's easy to create a simple program to try the examples. Just replace the ``Create a data model'' part of the example of Programmer's Guide Quickstart with this:

/* Create a data model */
Map root = new HashMap();
root.put(
        "doc",
        freemarker.ext.dom.NodeModel.parse(new File("the/path/of/the.xml")));  

and then you have a program that outputs the result of the XML transformation to the standard output (usually the terminal screen).

Notes:

Note that there are tools available that you can use to generate files from XML documents, so you don't have to write your own for this common task. See here...
